I just finished some guitar work, one for me and one for a buddy that I do a lot of work for.
Me: I put new pickups in my tele, added a phase switch, shielded all the cavities, and changed the knobs to nickel extra heavy knurled ones. I like em a lot
My buddy's guitar got the fender cunife wide ranging pickups installed, pots cleaned, selector switch rewired, and I installed a B5 Bigsby and a Callaham bridge

PPCB-wise, nearly all my board orders over the last three months or so have arrived, so my to-do list includes Circulator, Constrictor, Magnetron, Mesmerizer, Mofeta, and Pendulum. The Caesar and Cepheid boards are en route. These should keep me busy for a while or at least till the next sale comes up

I have to finish a Calamity Fuzz this weekend. First Time drilling an enclosure and all the holes are wonky but everything fits. Hopefully the Auditorium test is successful and I can finally box up my first build in 8 months.
Also two intelligent relay bypass boards cause I finally found the relays.
A voltage sag knob in a 1590LB.
Tweak a fuzz face and a Fuzzrite on breadboards. Eventually I want to build them on tagboards that I designed (so they won't work...).
I also have a 1590BBS to drill for the Electrovibe but since I don't have all the components to build it I will wait to get some clamps so maybe I'll drill the holes correctly this time.
Start designing graphics for the enclosures of all the other builds I'm planning. Will be placing a big order at Tayda soon.
Being broke sucks for this hobby.

Got a Conqueror Deluxe, another Viceroy and a Mojito I need to box up, then I have about 6 or 7 enclosures prepped, couple of Seabed Delays and several SRV/SR for some buddies. an ADHD, Paragon and Frost Drive to replace some things I gave away and another set of the Pro 10's. We bought a little camper on a leased lot over on the Chestatee river, so that's been eating up my weekends, but in a good way.

circling back around to some basic-ass circuits like the boss tone and fy-2. they cost peanuts and they're rounding out my fuzz collection at the same time

No builds right now, I am playing with the ones I already got. I am out of money too, even for diy builds.
As usual, I am going to work in the fields this summer, in the south of france. Looks like it's going to be hot, like never before... I plan to build a Pearl OC-07 octaver / Up Down Daddy from Delyk, or the Ocelot from PPCB. I hope i will earn enough money to order a madamp project, building a tube amp for the first time.
I also hope there will be tubes easily available in a few months, because right now this project isn't possible with the tube situation.
I would very much like to build an Hydra Delay, this one intrigues me... I hope it will allow me to stop using 2 or 3 delays together to create a complex rhythm with a single note.
I can wait...I didn't play enough music in the last 3 years, too busy building circuits... so being broke is a good thing really.
Edit : one of my last builds is Delyk's 2nd Chorale, CE-2 with all the mods, and I am playing with it all the time...

I have a bunch of recommendations stolen from well known rascals who have posted in these forums that I need to build parts lists for and get some orders underway. In my procrastination, I have been catching up on some graphics and actually playing those that I’ve built.

Both the BossTone and the FY-2 surprised me. The only problems it’s the FY-2 is the unity volume. The PPCB Kazoo is an improved version. For a tricked out BossTone, check out the Paul Trombetta Mini Bone…

I start classes for the summer term on Monday, so we’ll see if I’m able to actually get much done, but:
- I have some Amplifyfun faceplate designs to finish up
- A few things to breadboard (and need to make my full size Protoboard- just need to find the regulator’s somewhere without a minimum order)
- Finish up a few 1590LB builds I have on the bench
- Two son of Ben preamp/drives
- Digitize all of my old home HI8 recordings. Got like 4 tapes done; like 30 to go. Nice to see me back as a kid playing with my first dog
- Get parts to start work on the Bari Tele (pickups, bridge, anodized pickguar, etc)
- Other assorted builds and getting other assorted graphics done
- Much more lol

You building a baritone from scratch?

Member known well
Nah, not this time. The other (non bari) Tele I’m building is, as well as a few other builds that are in various stages of development, but that’s gotta take the back burner for a while. Got a body for cheap from a well regarded builder online, and I’m gonna be hacking it up a bit to create a wild baritone synth tele fit for a galaxy far, far away…
@Harry Klippton what’s that little b-bendy thing on that tele!? Gets mah juices flowin!
Current build projects:
Deadend fx “The Thing” and “Tatiana”
Aion “Blueshift”
PPCB “Lowballer” and an “Obsidious” for a co-worker.
Thinking ab making a combo bass pre with a compressor up front->Sludgehammer->fuzz of some sort

It's a palm lever B-bender made by Rolling bender. It was the cheapest option for me to explore having a b bender. Now that I've had it for 2 years, I couldn't live without it or some other form of a b bender. I thought about getting a certano b and g bender, and I'll likely one day send a guitar off to get a Glaser bender

I just put this together today.
About as far as I got.
I had a bunch of garage chores to do today, made 3 trips to our storage unit moving stuff around.
Been a crazy week, my father in law passed away a week ago and my wife was his POA. So I've been helping her deal with all of his affairs and "stuff". We had just moved him from independent living into an ALF (took 6 months to convince him he needed help) and 4 weeks to the day after we moved him in he passed. We were still putting stuff from his 2 bedroom condo in the independent living section of his retirement community into storage. He had Alzheimers and had been declining for years but we were all still a bit shocked at how fast he declined in the final few weeks. 3 weeks ago he was arguing with me about which HDMI port to put the Roku on.....2 weeks later he was completely bedridden and from there it was only a week or so before he was gone.
Anyways, re: the Protoboard, I've been reading up on the most excellent tutorials from @BuddytheReow and will be building out the LPB-1 exercise. But probably not today. I'm whupped and planning to just play some guitar and maybe work on the next "Shut up and Play Yer Guitar" episode.
